SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 330,672, dated November1'7, 1885.

Application filed January 27, 1885. Serial No. 154,127. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEwIs BRIDGE, a citizen of the United States,residing at the city of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Brackets; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,which form part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is aperspective, and Fig. 2 a vertical transverse detail section.

My invention has for its object to provide a bracket designed andadapted to form a support for a shelf, sink, trough, or other fixture orarticle, said bracket having means whereby it may have the bolt by whichit is secured to the article it supports adjustable, so that said boltmay be shifted, as occasion may require, to bring it into alignment orregistration with the bolt hole or opening in the part supported.

My invention consists, essentially, in the combination, with asupporting-bracket having a slot, of a bolt-holder movable thereon andhaving a fastening device for securing said holder in any adjustedposition.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,

A designates a bracket composed of the two sides a and b, which arearranged at right angles to each other, forming aninverted L, andconnected by a brace or web, 0, which may be of any suitable design.

D represents a slot in the bracket, parallel with the side a, which sideis the one upon which rests the shelf, sink, or other article, H, to besupported, the other side, 12, being designed to rest against a wall orfixture, and be secured thereto by screws passed through the ears I) orin any other suitable manner.

E E are bolts, which pass through the slot D and are each provided witha nut, e,whereby they are fastened in any desired position in said slot.Said bolts pass through the ears 7 f of a bolt-holder, F, which consistsof a half box or bearing having avertical opening or channel, 9, for thepassage of a bolt, G. This latter bolt is designed to pass through anopening, h, formed for its reception in the article H to be supported onthe bracketfor example, through a hole in the flange of a sink. Whateverthe distance this opening may be from the inner or the outer edge of thesupported article, the bolt-holder and its bolt G may be brought intoalignment or registration with it by moving said holder along the sideof the bracket, the nuts 6 6 being tightened after the requiredadjustment has been obtained. The bolt G has a nut, g, which should alsobe turned on tight after said bolt has been passed down through thesupported article and the holder F.

\Vhat I claim as my invention is- The combination, with asupporting-bracket having a slot, D, of a sliding adjustable boltholdersustained on and fastened to said bracket by bolts E E, substantially asshown and described.

In testimony that I claimthe foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this21st day of January, 1885.
